ICBB is off, so RMT!

McLovinn

Hi guys. I've been eager to post this since I created it, but was slowed down by ICBB >_>.

Here it is;

Bronzong@Leftovers/Lum Berry
Sassy - 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 SpD
Gyro Ball
Stealth Rock
Hypnosis
Earthquake
This is my main Weavile counter. Its also the standard lead on teams. xD. This is just the standard set. Also, I've got a nice one which was my first ever breed.

Tentacruel@Choice Scarf
Timid - 252 SpAtk/252 Spd/6 HP
Surf
Hidden Power Electric
Ice Beam
Sludge Bomb
This is my bitch. The whole team revolves around this. I love it to bits. It can rape everything. Its brought me back from embarrassing 6-1/5-1 scorelines, to wins or things like 1-0/2-0 losses.

Dugtrio@Choice Band
Adamant - 252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP
Earthquake
Pursuit
Sucker Punch
Stone Edge
This rapes Electivire and electrics. It can also get rid of Weavile with considerable ease.

Magnezone@Shuca Berry
Modest - 172 HP / 252 SpA / 84 Spe
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power Ice
Substitute
Magnet Rise
This is the standard smogon set, except Shuca berry is in there to survive an Earthquake, and be able to Magnet Rise. Luckily, I have a HP Ice 70 Magnezone lying in one of my boxes (:

Swampert@Leftovers
Relaxed - 240 HP/216 Def/52 SpAtk
Earthquake
Ice Beam
Surf
Roar
Here we are. This counters nearly every threat. It can kill off Electivire with ease, and take hits from pretty much everything lol. It can also pack quite a punch on the return.

Gliscor@Leftovers
Impish - 252 HP/252 Def/4 Atk
Earthquake
Aerial Ace
Taunt
Roost
This can take both Lucario and Hera with ease. It also does a great job of countering both Dugtrio and Gyara. Its just an all-round helper in the team.
 
Hidden Power Grass is better than Giga Drain on Tentacruel (unless this is WiFi). If it isn't, then I think you'd be better off with HP Electric for Gyarados, I mean Swampert isn't that common. Since you have Gliscor for Heracross, you might want to try to use Pursuit on Dugtrio over Aerial Ace for escaping Gengar.
 
seems wierd, you have a trap team but no setup.

gyarados kinda 6-0s you too c__C

not sure what to suggest in terms of team strategy but u-turn celebi over gliscor would help alot.
 
So your Tentacruel has 259 Sp. Attack...Isn't it a tad too weak to do anything besides revenge kill things weak to its moves (Garchomp, Salamence, Dragonite, that means you and Rhyperior)? I dunno, I'd try Choice Specs for the extra power Tentacruel is begging for. If you're looking for a speed freak, might as well replace it with another Scarfer (something with above 110 base Attack/ Sp. Attack) or Deoxys-S.

Also, I dont think Gliscor actually counters Gyara, worst thing it can do is Taunt any future Dragon Dance and *hurt* it with Aerial Ace while eating mouthfulls of STABbed Waterfall.

2 Stealth Rock on 1 team is too much. Might as well replace Swampert's by Roar to pHaze.

Overall, your team doesn't have any huge weakness, it just lacks any central strategy. It looks defensive, but without a lot of passive damage or tanks, and it's just plain too weak to be an offensive team.
 
Yeah definately go roar on swamp he runs it well bc sometime your going to find yourself up agaisnt some crazy stat upper and your going to want that, trust me.

Hp Ice Hetran can ohko your entire team with either choice item, with the exception of swampert.

Also you dont have a single fire attack on your team. Trust me your going to want one with all the steels running around. Perhaps a heatran yourself could do you some good. With a scarf it can outrun tons of huge threats and its a great revenge killer
 
i dont know exactly the best way to fix this, but a simple tauntrados will walk over your entire team, with no way to revenge kill him or wall him.

my best suggestions are either place HP thunder on tentacruel or possibly replace swampert with starmie. Losing swampert is ok as his role is almost fully filled by gliscor (gliscor will need stealth rock). starmie can provide a pokemon that can kill (or not with stupid yache) garchomp and also survive a gyarados attack and kill back with T-bolt.

if you dont feel like losing swampert i could suggest a (gasp) deoxys-E for the gyarados revenge killer and pseudo choice scarfer. even though you say your team revolves around tentacruel, he might eventually need to be replaced if gyarados is becoming too much of a problem
 
I'd honestly just run Choice Scarf Suicune over Tentacruel - Suicune seems to do it better considering Sludge Bomb isn't really hitting anything Water/Electric/Ice isn't hitting already. Suicune can then run Extrasensory or something. Suicune has more power, take a hit or two, and less weaknesses to abuse so I think Suicune is a much better choice over Tentacruel.

I would consider running a Curse Restalk Waterfall Swampert over your current set. Sure, Swampert "counters" a lot of things but that doesnt mean Swampert will stop dying because it lacks reliable recovery. With Curse Restalk it can also work as a status absorber :D

I don't see what Magnezone does for your team at all. Considering you're going to get stalled to death the second Suicune/Tentacruel is down, I'd recommend switching it with something that can... hit stuff. Let's replace Magnezone with Mixape, something that can whip through a wall or two. Fire Blast/HP Ice(or NP)/Grass Knot/CC sounds lovely for your team and I think it prevents your team from being stalled to death since Mixape is a premier wallbreaker
